Furry Friends

Meet the hostess of Norridge Jewelers in Norridge, Illinois. Kozzi has been greeting customers for seven years.

She loves her job and puts a smile on the face of everyone she meets - whether in person or on social media.

Introducing Snorkel Sam Botnick. The fur baby of Harris and Geri Botnick, owners of Worthmore Jewelers in Atlanta. Snorkle Sam is the official greeter and general manager of human resources.

Callie, the boxer, and Jewels, the poodle, “work” at Scott and Sons Fine Jewelry on Amelia Island in FL.

Callie is more bashful, which is hard to believe after seeing the way she’s hamming it up in this picture.
